That Australian Eejit Has Been Talking About Ireland Again

That Australian Eejit Has Been Talking About Ireland Again

"These are people that can't grow potatoes, they've got a mutant lawn weed as their national symbol, and they can't verbalise the difference between a tree and the number three."

Australian political advisor, Grahame Morris has gone back on the airwaves to apologise for the above comments he made about Ireland last week. Morris told Sky News:

I got myself into a hell of a pickle on this. To all those with Irish backgrounds, which includes me, incidentally, I'm actually very sorry.

He joked that 'kick Grahame' is now the national sport of Ireland instead of Gaelic football and hurling, adding 'What I said was tasteless and I copped the whack I probably deserved.'

As of yet, there is no word on when he will come out and apologise for that dreadful kick Grahame joke.
